Feasibility of a best–worst scaling exercise to set priorities for autism research
BACKGROUND: The preferences of autism stakeholders regarding the top priorities for future autism research are largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study had two objectives: First, to examine what autism stakeholders think new research investments should be and the attributes of investment that they consider important, and second, to explore the feasibility, acceptability and outcomes of two prioritization exercises among autism stakeholders regardin…
Reliability, validity and measurement invariance of the Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ) among HIV-positive women in Ethiopia
Our results show that the six-item SMAQ scale has adequate reliability and validity indices for this sample, in addition to being invariant across comparison groups. The findings of this study strengthen the evidence in support of the increasing use of SMAQ by interventionists and researchers to examine, pool and compare adherence scores across groups and time periods
Training Psychologists for Rural Practice
PURPOSE: To examine trends in the psychologist workforce and training opportunities, including factors that may influence the decision of clinical psychologists to practice in rural settings. METHODS: We use a mixed-methods approach to examine the psychologist workforce nationally and in North Carolina (NC), including (1) an analysis of the location of programs awarding doctoral degrees; (2) an analysis of the practice, demographic, and education…
Utilization and Adherence in Medical Homes
BACKGROUND: The complex nature of managing care for people with severe mental illness (SMI), including major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, is a challenge for primary care practices, especially in rural areas. The team-based emphasis of medical homes may act as an important facilitator to help reduce observed rural-urban differences in care. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine whether enrollment in medical home…
Do Medical Homes Increase Medication Adherence for Persons With Multiple Chronic Conditions
BACKGROUND: Medications are an integral component of management for many chronic conditions, and suboptimal adherence limits medication effectiveness among persons with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Medical homes may provide a mechanism for increasing adherence among persons with MCC, thereby enhancing management of chronic conditions. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between medical home enrollment and adherence to newly initiated medi…
Use of Medical Homes by Patients With Comorbid Physical and Severe Mental Illness
BACKGROUND: Patients with comorbid severe mental illness (SMI) may use primary care medical homes differently than other patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). OBJECTIVE: To compare medical home use among patients with comorbid SMI to use among those with only chronic physical comorbidities. RESEARCH DESIGN: We examined data on children and adults with MCC for fiscal years 2008-2010, using generalized estimating equations to assess asso…
Heterogeneity in the Quality of Care for Patients With Multiple Chronic Conditions by Psychiatric Comorbidity
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the quality of care received by Medicaid enrollees with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) and whether quality is different for those with mental illness. OBJECTIVES: To examine cancer screening and single-disease quality of care measures in a Medicaid population with MCC and to compare quality measures among persons with MCC with varying medical comorbidities with and without depression or schizophrenia. RESEARC…
Deployment and the Use of Mental Health Services among U.S. Army Wives
BACKGROUND: Military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have involved the frequent and extended deployment of military personnel, many of whom are married. The effect of deployment on mental health in military spouses is largely unstudied. METHODS: We examined electronic medical-record data for outpatient care received between 2003 and 2006 by 250,626 wives of active-duty U.S. Army soldiers. After adjustment for the sociodemographic characteristi…

Changes in Treatment Content of Services During Trauma-informed Integrated Services for Women with Co-occurring Disorders
The experience of trauma is highly prevalent in the lives of women with mental health and substance abuse problems. We examined how an intervention targeted to provide trauma-informed integrated services in the treatment of co-occurring disorders has changed the content of services reported by clients. We found that the intervention led to an increased provision of integrated services as well as services addressing each content area: trauma, ment…

Systems Ideologies and Street-Level Bureaucrats
This article examines the stability of street-level bureaucrats' negative perceptions regarding a newly implemented managed care system on quality of care and service delivery in a publicly funded behavioral health care system. Overall findings indicate that the generally negative perception of managed care did not differ between staff in the two programs, indicating a weak effect on attitudes of frontline workers. More proximal variables to the …
Comparing Outcomes of Major Models of Police Responses to Mental Health Emergencies
OBJECTIVE: The study compared three models of police responses to incidents involving people thought to have mental illnesses to determine how often specialized professionals responded and how often they were able to resolve cases without arrest. METHODS: Three study sites representing distinct approaches to police handling of incidents involving persons with mental illness were examined-Birmingham, Alabama; and Knoxville and Memphis, Tennessee. …
The Dynamics of Interagency Collaboration
This paper describes results of a secondary analysis of interorganizational network data collected in an evaluation of a system-level intervention that was designed to integrate service delivery across multiple sectors serving children with serious emotional disturbances. Data measuring the extent of interorganizational resource exchange were analyzed to investigate changes in patterns of interagency collaboration involving child welfare and juve…
Structure and change in child mental health service delivery networks
This article presents an empirical approach which views mental health service systems as interorganizational networks. Data are reported on two county-based child mental health systems in North Carolina that participated in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Mental Health Services Program for Youth. Analyses are based on a structural equivalence approach which groups organizations on the basis of similarity in their patterns of interaction…

Rural Mental Health Leaders' Perceptions of Stigma and Community Issues
This paper provides a description of the attitudes of rural leaders toward mental health issues using data collected in two rural counties (one in Virginia and one in North Carolina). Study participants (N=63) are individuals identified as leaders making a significant positive contribution to mental health issues in each county. While the counties were matched on a number of demographic characteristics, the counties had one difference believed im…
Medicare Reimbursement for Preventive Care
A randomized, controlled trial was conducted to assess the effects of a financial and office systems intervention to increase preventive care in physicians' offices for patients aged 65 years or older. A total of 1,914 patients from 10 primary-care medical practices in central North Carolina were randomized within practices to an intervention and a usual-care control group. The intervention consisted of full Medicare reimbursement to physicians f…

Care and Treatment of the Mentally Ill in the United States
Three major cycles of reform in public mental health care in the United States—the moral treatment, mental hygiene, and community mental health movements—are described as a basis for assessing the shifting boundaries between the mental health, social welfare, and criminal justice systems. Historical forces that led to the transinstitutionalization of the mentally ill from almshouses to the state mental hospitals in the nineteenth and twentieth ce…

Reevaluating the Custody‐therapy Conflict Paradigm in Correctional Mental Health Settings
It has become almost axiomatic in sociological analyses of interactions between mental health and criminal justice personnel that their respective ideologies are inherently contradictory and produce conflict within organizations in which both groups are working. Because key components of the mental health system have changed dramatically since the seminal research in this area was conducted and because these concepts were never tested in certain …

The Insanity Defense
Cries for reform of insanity defense statutes are often associated with notorious cases involving heinous offenses. In fact, little research exists on the reforms sparked by such cases. Reforms initiated without data on their likely impacts may lead to illusory or unintended results. A strategy to assess such changes, and any other type of insanity defense reform, is articulated in this article. This approach is substantially different from the a…
